I will be chilling out on the water at my parents' vacation house in lovely Bozman, MD. This is their back yard. I'm flying out tomorrow and will be there through Tuesday. We'll see how successful I am at teaching my Wisconsin-born-and-raised gf to crack crabs.
Mmmm...can't wait!
Oh, and they've got a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (with a canopy, unlike this pic), a little 14-foot sailboat, and some kayaks. Good times.

Eh its not hard. I learned by watching friends of mine one night at dinner having never had crab before. They had no idea that it was my first time when I told them after.

I grew up in Maryland, of course I know how to crack crabs.
It's more that my gf gets a little squeamish with food that starts out as a whole animal you have to break into pieces.

Just tell her to imagine that the crab is actually Mike Ditka, and the only way for the Packers to win this year is if she beats the shit out of the crab.
She'll be crackin' 'em in no time!

I have a feeling that will mostly result in dirty looks in my direction.

She's actually not much of a football fan. Mostly pays attention to the playoffs and Super Bowl.

You need to dump her. Bro.

Take that boat out to the Chesapeake and go crabbing. Easiest way to learn how to eat a crab is to build up an appetite catching them!

Just had crabs tonight. I tried to teach a buddy of mine from NY how to eat them last year and he struggled. It's kinda hard to teach something that you never remember learning (MD Born and Bred - but in the process of changing residency for tax reasons).
Where the hell is Bozman, MD? That's not Eastern Shore, is it?

My folks don't have the necessary equipment for crabbing. But, their next door neighbors are watermen. My mom bakes them stuff, and they bring over the occasional bushel of crabs.

It is eastern shore. Kinda in the direction of St. Michaels.

Sounds like a good deal!
